"Zombie" Fly parasite killing honeybees
patdeez84 Offer Upgrade User ID: 786640 Puerto Rico 01/04/2012 07:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	"Zombie" Fly parasite killing honeybees A heap of dead bees was supposed to become food for a newly captured praying mantis. Instead, the pile ended up revealing a previously unrecognized suspect in colony collapse disorder a mysterious condition that for several years has been causing declines in U.S. honeybee populations, which are needed to pollinate many important crops. This new potential culprit is a bizarre and potentially devastating parasitic fly that has been taking over the bodies of honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Northern California.

The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe ... when he desires them.” Ron Swanson

This double infection suggests that the flies might even be spreading these additional hive-weakening factors." They're killing me with these friggin zombies. What do you want to bet these flies were bio-engineered and let loose? No trees were killed in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Quoting: Missouri Foxtrotter I do find it odd that this is what they are saying has been killing off the honeybees :sigjosh: :ronswansontax: “We have allowed our nation to be over taxed and over regulated and overrun by bureaucrats, the founders would be ashamed of us for what we're putting up with.” Ron Paul . “My idea of a perfect government is one guy who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he’s allowed to decide is who to nuke.
